t that high and ball parkable figure?

pankkake: ubuntu doesn'
t use systemd because it's shit
mircea_popescu: dude, init systems that hijack the core dumping process, control the power settings and disk fucking encryption all together aren'
t "init systems" in the vein of what you're thinking of.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t particularly give a shit anyway, not like i;ve been seriously contemplating running contemporary distros anywhere anyway.
pankkake: yeah, I don'
t know why I bother...
mircea_popescu: By default, systemd saves core dumps to the journal, instead of the file system. Core dumps must be explicitly queried using coredumpctl4. Besides going against all reason, it also creates complications in multi-user environments (good luck running gdb on your program's core dump if it's dumped to the journal and you don'
t have root access)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: systemd's journal files (handled by journald) are stored in a complicated binary format2, and must be queried using journalctl. This makes journal logs potentially corruptible, as they do not have ACID-compliant transactions. You typically don'
t want that to happen to your syslogs. The advice of the systemd developers? Ignore it. No, seriously. Oh, and there's embedded HTTP server integration (libmicro
httpd). QR codes
mircea_popescu: i musta missed that memo. what's so special about this 21st century that it can'
t eat the same oatmeal all the other 58 coming before it did ?

t reliable be able to tell you so
pankkake: I can'
t wait until Debian finally trashes its init system. the thing can'
t even tell you reliably if a daemon is running
